@milpai:.On this forum, I sometimes feel like a father with decades of real world education and experience trying to get my teen to realize that "being cool" and "popular" is not that important in the scheme of things. Teens just don’t get it. I know I am right.
I bought my first stereo system in 1969. I’ve been there done that in just about every way possible in audio. Money is not an issue except that I will never waste money on BS scams or components that are of little real value. My $20K Emotiva/Oppo/B&W system uses cables and wiring that meets basic length/resistance requirements. Most are Monoprice brand. I’ve tried other brands costing more...no difference. I currently use Kimber and Wireworld on some of my components. Not impressed...but I have them so I’m use them. The science confirms there should be no difference. If you get sucked into their made up marketing, your ears are hearing what you WANT to hear to personally justify spending ridiculous amounts on "exotic wire."
I’ll say again. I’ll not ridicule those that surrender money to slick, albeit deceptive, marketing, but I will continue to highlight my offense to these deceptive manufacturers and marketeers who trick the money out of the wallets of less savy "audiophiles."
